Inspired by the stunningly creative street fashion that exploded on the streets of Tokyo and Osaka in the late 1990’s, photo-journalist Kjeld Duits launched JAPANESE STREETS in 2002. This makes JS one of the first fashion blogs on the net, and the very first to cover Japanese street fashion.

A very classic outfit. I like the black jacket. it suits her very well. a warmer color as an accessory would be very nice. maybe red bracelet…

First I was wondering why she looked so different from other lolitas in spite of wearing a very classy outfit. And then i figured out is was because of her skin.
I think most lolitas try to look pale but hers is rather dark. And it looks so great! It completely works with her style I think and looks as she just jumped off a great ship… ^.-

I kinda love this girl, she looks so cool! I like the blue, her hair, the hat, and I looove the bolero <3
@Nyurah: I guess I’m used to that dark skinned look because in my country most of the people has dark skin, hence most of the lolita costumes are worn by dark skin girls ^^

@Maria: I was quite surprised when I read that there are lolitas in your country^^
But I guess you’re right, it’s only a matter of habit..

There’s lolitas almost everywhere now! It’s very cool. I sell lolita clothing second-hand, and I’ve shipped to Kuwait, Russia, Chile, Brazil, and many other countries that you might not expect to find lolita in! :)
